Hmm, Colonel Monte, it is possible to purchase a BARE-BONE COMPUTER, whether that be a laptop or desktop, and then proceed to install an OS of one's choice. Of course, you're not likely going to find

Hi Joyce, Wow, this really answers a few different questions, and certainly puts me in the driver's seat! Now, if Best Buy can get me to the Desktop without Wi-FI connection, what will this do for

Very good point.

Gene, Ok, I just seen my answer in this message, so please just ignor my question about Narrator being a part of Windows. Janet

Hi Janet, a few things as I have just set up a new laptop. First, you will need sided assistance to get through the first few steps because narrator does not turn on until you are connected to the

Gene, Thank you as this is great to hear. One problem solved! Smile! One of the very first things I would like to do is to put Brave on my Laptop. I just think I will ask Best Buy if they will turn

Gene, I already asked Best buy if I or them could install my Network information for me, and they said I need to be home by my Wi-Fi in order to do this. I just might try to turn on Narrator when I

Gene, I will definitely be using Brave, as I absolutely love Brave as my browser, and I wouldn't even want to go online if I didn't have Brave! Do I need to turn on an ad blocker in Brave though,

Gene, Ok this makes sense. I do know the information from my Router to enter it, matter of fact, now that I finally thought about it, I can probably connect the Laptop to my Wi-FI just like I do

Windows 10 comes with its own antivirus and security software. I've been using this win10 machine for about a year. I have not set up any antivirus or security. I just use what came with

No, but when you connect your laptop to the WIFI, you will have to enter information on your laptop to allow it to connect. The laptop will see your router but when you tell it to connect, it will

HI Gene, System Defender sounds like it will be enough for me. Now though, speaking about Wi-Fi, my current PC is connected to my modem and Router, but I do know or so I've been told by ATT back in
